Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I thought these would be a more grey for a neutral look, but they were like a very light blue. I returned due to my knee hurting because I realized I'm not a "responsive" girl and need more support. I did love the width at the mid-arch area though!

It used to be a solid shoe, now for the same price the quality has significantly deteriorated! The shoe tongue is almost like cloth, the thickness of denim - a whole lot of pull and tug is required to get it in place. The shoe itself is very light which is because the materials used are some kinda synthetic that is so light - weighs almost nothing!

I had Hoka Cliftons and they changed my view of shoes. My pair of Cliftons are no longer suitable for public so I came to the site, excited about getting another pair of Hoka shoes and picked MACH 6. I realize the difference in the series, but they are simply not to the same standards I was expecting from the brand. I thought it was a break-in adjustment, but no. Even though that wasn't a thing in the other pair, they were amazing the first second. Now the MACH 6 are broken in and definitely NOT as comfortable. The insoles are a flimsy piece of foam. Running in these don't provide the same cushion or comfort. The tongue design is annoying, it's constantly bunching, snagging. I'm tired of readjusting. Everyone is wearing socks, right? The sole pattern is a dirt collection system. My running is neighborhood, walking involves grass, I'm just moving fine dirt from place to place with the tiny divots in the sole. I've get the abrasive mats, fuzzy dog paw mats, and typical welcome mats and nothing is helping. The gauntlet of mats and a tap-tap jig, it's still leading to dirt tracked on the floor. Even noticeable sliding when I walked into the corner store. I'm not interested in a hiking sole, but this is the equivalent of a 1980s drugstore flip flop. I tried cleaning mud off the toe/top and can't get the fabric to let the dirt go. I know they are shoes, but I'm not carrying them into a gym and changing before leaving. They will come in contact with the Earth, I need to be able to clean them. The laces stay tied. . . I tried to love them. It's been 3 months. I'm constantly reverting to the old pair. I'm hesitant moving to another pair.

My last pair of Mach 6 fit perfect and I really like the shoe. I have skinny feet. I bought another pair of Mach 6's online in a different color and they are so much wider and I don't like how they feel when I running/walking in them. I understand there would be a fit difference if I ordered another version of the Mach or another style, but I expect more consistency with the same product. Going forward I will only purchase shoes when I can try them on.

The fit and width of the shoe are great. I have wide feet through the ball of my foot, and the wide width was plenty accommodating. A regular fit may have worked. The problem is that the soles are so incredibly squishy that they become painful to wear. I made the mistake of wearing them on a travel day and really regretted it. My whole foot and ankle was sore on both sides for days. Like I had been walking in loose sand for too long a distance. Too bad, because I really liked the fit and look. Not too clunky or overly large. The sole is just too squishy.

Shoe feels like the outer right heel has been lower or worn.

I have never needed wide shoes and all my other shoes (read On and so on) are either 7.5 or a few are 8. I have never had any other sizings in shoes. I ordered this in 8, my feet felt very uncomfortable. Returned and got 8.5 and wore it for 5 mins and I had a burning sensation in my feet. When I removed it, I saw that it had dug into my skin (this is in less than 5 mins). Now I am thinking if I should just return it or order a wide one and size up again. That's 1.5 sizes up from my original size.

I have 3 pairs of Hoka. I was fitted into Mach 5 and loved them. I bought another pair and they were perfect. Mach 6 came out and while they were different in not a good way, they still worked so I kept them. The fit is more narrow, and the arch is off. However, I recently ordered a black Mach 6 and this shoe is so narrow and awkward. My feet are not wide but the shoe is significantly different and just uncomfortable. I walked back and forth in my kitchen and the shoe was altering my walk. They are very narrow so your foot rotates and it's almost like you walk on the inside side of your feet. My husband said it looked like I might break my ankle. In the couple minutes of trying the shoe on, my knee immediately started hurting. Very disappointed. Back to the drawing board. Headed back to the shoe shop to be fitted again and guessing I will have to switch brands.

They are not comfortable i bought size 7.5 wide but i feel not feel comfortable. Bottom line is good . I bought also another pair of hokaTorrent 4 they are much better. I want to return them.

The fit and size were fine, however it feels like you are standing on concrete. There is absolutely no cushion.
